Normally when the red and brown hair genes infuse with each other, the brown would come more dominant. For some notable reasons.
Red hair (otherwise known as ginger hair) is a genetic mutation between blondes. Its inheritance chances are very low (usually 5-10%), while brown hair is somewhat an adaption between black hair and blonde hair. Thus with a higher chance.

Red hair is genetic. (and very recessive)

What color hair is dominant?
black color in hair is a dominant trait. same goes for brown eyes. blonde hair a blue eyes color is the opposite.
What gene shows up even when inherited only from one parent?
Lets say that your dad has brown hair, and your mom has red hair. The brown would be the dominant gene (B) and the red hair would be recessive (b). So you would most likely have brown hair since it is dominant. But if both parents had red hair (b) it would still be recessive. So the genes you inherited would be bb. You would then have red hair. If they both had brown (BB) then you would have brown. But if your parents did have brown and red hair, then you would have Bb. You would still then have brown hair since brown is the dominant color. But then if you have children, They would get one of each, so if you married someone with red hair, there is a possibility of your child of having red hair. I am not entirely sure if this answers the question, so I am sorry if it didn't. Hope it helped.
If red is the dominant hair color but the father has brown hair and the mother has red hair and the hair color of the father is dominant then what color will the hair of their child be?
It's very hard to answer this question as there are no details on what alleles the fathers or mothers DNA contains. The father has to have an allele for red hair for the child to have a chance of having it. Presuming that the father has a brown and red hair allele and the mother has the same it works out like this. Brown + Brown = Brown Brown + Red = Brown (Because it's dominant) Brown + Red (from other parents) = Brown (Because brown is dominant) Red + Red = Red The chances of brown therefore is 3:1 as you cannot be sure on what the child will receive.

What color will baby's hair be if mother has black hair and father has red hair?
The characteristics of offspring are not determined by the parents' phenotypes, but by their genotypes. The genes for hair color that a parent caries are not immediately apparent by the parent's own hair color. Only genetic testing will reveal what inactive genes the parent may have. A parent with brown hair may have recessive genes for blond, black, or red hair, or maybe a total dominance of brown-hair genes. If both parents have homozygous brown hair, the offspring will have brown hair. It is more likely, however, that the code for brown hair is heterozygous, in which case the color of the offspring's hair is essentially impossible to determine without DNA testing.
If Patrick has red hair and his parents have brown hair Patrick's trait must be?
one of his parents must have the red-hair allele, but they both have brown hair so they are both hetereozygous with the dominant brown allele. Patrick's red hair is homozygous recessive
What color hair is dominant?
black color in hair is a dominant trait. same goes for brown eyes. blonde hair a blue eyes color is the opposite.
What if your boyfriend has ginger hair and so has his mum and dad you have dark brown hair what is the chances of having ginger babies?
zero, I am afraid, lest you have the red hair gene yourself:( You may have as it can "skip a generation" (or more..). Red is recessive and brown dominant, so you could have both a red gene and a brown gene without having as much as a red tint in your hair:)
You have twin girls with red hair and hazel green eyes your husband has dark brown hair and eyes and you have light brown hair and hazel eyes Red hair is not common in either family Identical?
The gene that gives a person red hair is a ressesive gene, When a child is created, they take a gene both from their mother and from their father in order to make a pair to give them their hair colour. Certain genes are reccessive and certain genes are dominant, Usually, darker hair genes such as brown are dominant, Lighter hair genes such as red are reccessive So if a child receives a dark haired gene like brown from one parent and a lighter haired gene like red from the other parent, the child will have dark hair, as the dominant gene will dominate the hair colour. So, both the mother and the father must have had a reccessive red hair gene, Which the child was given when it was created.

Is red hair a ressesive gene?
no if you have red hair then it is a dominant gene because you can see it. If you do not have red hair then you could have a recessive gene (same as anyone else :P)
Suppose that brown hair color is dominant over red hair color in humans Which of the statements is true?
If brown hair is dominant over red hair, then a person who is heterozygous for brown hair will have a brown hair phenotype. Red-haired offspring with two brown-haired parents are fairly common.

2 parents with brown hair can produce a child with red hair

Father has red hair blue eyes mother has brown hair brown eyes what will second child look like?
likely brown hair - in order for a red haired child both parents have to have the red hair gene & of course red hair.
Suppose that brown hair color is dominant over red hair color in humans. Which of the following statements is true?
Two parents with brown hair can produce a child with red hair
If you have black hair and brown eyes and you carry a red and black hair gene and your partner has blue eyes and brown hair and carries the red and brown trait with them what will the child look like?
It's possible that the child will have black, brown or red hair.
